I would recommend this to a friendDecent product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Grabbed this for a playoff baseball game and it worked like a charm for the first game, but I must've not turned it off because the battery was dead the second game. Used it a few times and have been mindful of the power switch and had no issues.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendBroken Already...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted a device that was barely more advanced than a waffle iron. No Bluetooth, no cloud, no internet, no wifi, no cell network. Radio, battery, this was all they had in store. So I plugged it into my battery powered speak and listen to the Vikes game on the golf course. Next time, battery is fine, device is shot, $25 down the drain. It has no "Grit."
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGood radio.
